Chapter 1

Rouge hated fighting. She especially hated fighting on a Saturday morning, but here she was fighting Magneto's lackeys when she could have been sleeping. They had been woken up at eight am by an annoyingly energetic Logan who said something about going down to the docks to find Mag's new hideout in some abandoned warehouses.

Rouge stalked her way around the loading yard following Jean. That was another bad thing about today because she had been paired with "Little Miss Perfect."

They rounded a corner and came face to face with a smiling man in a trench coat.

[It's Gambit. He has the power to charge things to explode.] Jean preached to Rouge using her telepathy.

[Ah know, Ah was there when the prof told us. Now get on with it." Rouge snapped back.

"It's not every day when Remy gets to meet two pretty filles." The man in front of them said with a lazy, sexy smile.

Oh great! He's a Cajun thought Rouge, but he don't look too bad. Not bad at all. Bad thought, she scolded herself.

She started to move round to the left and began to take off her glove. As she did this Gambit attacked Jean with some charged cards. Jean's mental shield meant that the cards just bounced right back towards Gambit. He leaped easily and gracefully to the side as the cards exploded where he had been standing in a large bang! He had jumped towards Rouge and she could now reach out and touch his skin. She reached forward and made contact. As she touched his skin on his face, Jean launched a mental attack on Gambit.

As Rouge made contact she felt the familiar effect of her power as he started to be drained. Then Rouge felt something quite different. As she had touched him his concentration on his shields and slipped and so Jean had entered his mind and began attacking but this was also being fed into Rouge through the skin-to-skin contact. They felt a tingle and then were sent flying back, colliding with some crates. Rouge had time to feel the sharp pain in her head before passing out.
